Abstract Objective To investigate retinal layer thinning as a biomarker of disease‐modifying treatment (DMT) effects in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Methods From an ongoing prospective observational study, we included patients with RMS, who (i) had an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan within 6 to 12 months after DMT start (rebaseline) and ≥

Optic Disc and Cup Segmentation Methods for Glaucoma Detection with Modification of U-Net Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness all over the world, with approximately 60 million cases reported worldwide in 2010. If undiagnosed in time, glaucoma causes irreversible damage to the optic nerve leading to blindness. The optic nerve head examination, which involves measurement of cup-to-disc ratio, is considered one of the most ...

The 3D Structural Phenotype of the Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Head and its Relationship with The Severity of Visual Field Damage [PDF]
$\bf{Purpose}$: To describe the 3D structural changes in both connective and neural tissues of the optic nerve head (ONH) that occur concurrently at different stages of glaucoma using traditional and AI-driven approaches. $\bf{Methods}$: We included 213 normal, 204 mild glaucoma (mean deviation [MD] $\ge$ -6.00 dB), 118 moderate glaucoma (MD of -6.01

Seven Novel Variants of Weiss‐Kruszka Syndrome and Phenotype Expansion
ABSTRACT Weiss‐Kruszka syndrome (WKS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by metopic ridging, ptosis, arched eyebrows, down slanting palpebral fissures, abnormalities in the corpus callosum, cardiac malformations, and variable neurodevelopmental delay. To date, 32 individuals with a diagnosis of WKS have been reported in the literature.

AnatomyNet: Deep Learning for Fast and Fully Automated Whole-volume Segmentation of Head and Neck Anatomy [PDF]
Methods: Our deep learning model, called AnatomyNet, segments OARs from head and neck CT images in an end-to-end fashion, receiving whole-volume HaN CT images as input and generating masks of all OARs of interest in one shot. AnatomyNet is built upon the popular 3D U-net architecture, but extends it in three important ways: 1) a new encoding scheme to ...

Diagnosis of papilledema and pseudopapilledema using optical coherence tomography [PDF]
Background: Papilledema is a common clinical problem where the ophthalmologist plays an important role in its diagnosis. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high resolution images of the retina and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL).Objective ...

Retinal dysfunction in APOE4 knock‐in mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Graphical summary of retinal dysfunction in APOE4 knock‐in (KI) mice aged 5257 weeks. The model exhibits vascular deficits (increased vascular tortuosity), behavioral dysfunction (decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity), and neuronal deficits (impaired retinal function, bipolar cell stunting, and loss of photoreceptors).
